Affirmation – Inner Peace

Every decision I make is based solely on whether or not it lines up with my purpose in life. I take into account how a choice affects my life and the lives of those around me. Before launching into action, I objectively evaluate the pros and cons of a situation.

Prior to making a decision, I pray for direction so I can make wise choices. I trust a select group of wise friends for their valuable opinions, but I trust my inner guidance most of all.

My main concern is to be true to my values and myself. I ask myself if the course of action I plan to take accurately reflects who I am. If the answer to my question is affirmative, then I proceed in peace.

Knowing I am doing what is right for me is better than having the applause of my peers. At the end of the day I am the only one who has to live with the consequences of my decisions; therefore, I am careful to respect and not violate my own peace.

Whether people agree with my choices or not is insignificant to me. As long as I am doing what I know I should be doing, I am at peace. The approval or disapproval of others will fade, but inner peace lasts forever.

Today, I shut out the clamor of peer pressure and hone in on the voice of my soul leading me in the right direction. I cease trying to please people and settle happily for peace of mind.
